Process Behavioral Modeling

With iGrafx Process, you can quickly capture the behavior of your processes, entering data directly into the diagram such as time to perform steps, resources used, decision probabilities, process flow rules, and more. Then quickly and easily extend the diagram with information about process incoming load, schedules, and other data. This powerful As-Is representation becomes the base for creating your To-Be Future state or multiple what-if scenarios.

Powerful Discrete Event Simulation

Build your business case for change with “what-if analysis”

By performing discrete event simulation using either Process or BPMN models, you get the opportunity to foresee the results of changes to your process that are impractical to test any other way. iGrafx simulation provides realistic, accurate results based on in-depth scenarios that can include real-life empirical data and custom distributions. Dynamic animation of simulation steps helps validate your models as they are being built, and enhances understanding of where bottlenecks are developing, as well as highlights simulation paths and results.

Resource Modeling

Accurately define dependencies on people and systems

You can’t move people around in your organization just to test out possible improvement scenarios. By modeling resources and assigning them to your process activities, iGrafx discrete event simulation pinpoints resource contentions and supports informed decision-making regarding the impact of resource adjustments on your business.

Identify optimal changes through comprehensive "what-if" analysis.

Multiple Scenario Analysis Reporting

Make informed decisions leading to process improvement

View simulation results - through tabular and graphical reports - that show side-by-side comparison of the As-Is current state and To-Be future state of your process. Utilize a wealth of data to analyze process behavior, using individual and aggregated statistics based on Time, Cost, Resources, Queuing and custom statistics you can define. Logging information on individual transactions enables further, in-depth analysis.

Intelligent Diagramming

Maximize mapping productivity and minimize errors

Nobody does diagramming like iGrafx. Creating and editing process maps, whether they use cross-functional Swimlanes® or BPMN 2.0, is made easy with out-of-the-box templates and lots of features to help create diagrams that communicate exactly what you want with minimal clicks. Automatic correct-by-construction and rules checking capabilities will ensure BPMN diagrams meet notation standards and help enforce process compliance. With simple drag and drop, create diagrams from reusable processes and activities and automatically create relationships to resources, describe support from automated systems and more.

Model Publishing

Easily share your processes and related content

Share any iGrafx diagrams or processes with your peers as PDF documents as well as HTML and Microsoft® Office documents. And don’t worry about page parameters or how your process will look as a published document as you capture your processes – we take care of that for you.

Visio® Import

Take your Reduce development time by leveraging legacy content to the next level.

Leverage existing process documentation by converting Microsoft® Visio® diagrams to iGrafx format and open up the opportunity to perform more efficient and accurate process modeling and simulation.

Document Lifecycle Management

Streamline document workflow

Managing process documents through multiple stages of maturity is important not only from a regulatory perspective, but also for a systematic approach to process development. Retain version histories and take your process models from drafts to review stages through approval and sign-off with sophisticated capabilities for making sure the right people are informed and involved at the right stages.

Team Collaboration

Bring process knowledge out of the dark

Collaborate on processes and reuse the process knowledge that has been built up by yourself and other Process Experts over time. Process optimization and improvement projects can leverage all available process information including process maps, analysis reports, spreadsheets and related documents. With Web and mobile access, process consumers can annotate or comment on processes.
